Abstract
The proposed scenario suggests similarities in Paleozoic evolution of the Central Asian and Mesozoic-Cenozoic evolution of the northern Circum-Pacific supercollages, both possibly formed in response to westward subduction and related strike-slip translation of the (Paleo)-Pacific oceanic plates. The individual superterranes might have been consequently translated for as much as 4000-6000Â km and oroclinally bent during such translation or/and rotation of the adjacent cratons.
